(SO GREAT)
(Also that extended chord on the words "Charlotte Sometimes" with all the ninths and elevenths in it!)

I remember reading a Cure write-up long ago that was talking about the amazing imagery of Smith's lyrics and quoted as an example "'Come to escape,' he says/And Charlotte sometimes..." I think I went completely postal in ridiculing this writer. I think it's in Ten Imaginary Years somewhere.

It would be a great listen, there are lots of superb versions of songs that spring to mind, it could start at '79 and go through to '04.
Anyone interested? Any song suggestions?

I was really on the fence about buying "Seventeen Seconds" but am very glad. The remastering alone makes these discs worthy. I listened to the Cure prior to "Head On the Door" only on cassette, and in that situation almost exclusively through crappy Walkman headphones. Listening now through a real stereo (and even on my computer's Altec's) is eye opening. AWESOME.
My complaint is that I really don't see the point of the live tracks included...I'd much, much, much rather just have a reissue of all-live stuff.
FYI, I remember searching and searching and FINALLY finding a "Concert" import CD in college and selling a textbook to go buy it.

Now, one question, do I put any Disintegration tracks on this comp, if so which?

I didn't think it was possible for me to love this album more, but I do.
